The Great Mosque of Paris

Assalamualaikum. See you once again.


In this entry, I will share about the largest mosque in France and the third largest in Europe which is the Great Mosque de Paris (Grande Mosquee De Paris).

It located in the Fifth Arrondissement, right in the heart of Paris. The Great Mosque of Paris was the very first mosque to be built in France and it was initially constructed in honor of the French Arab community that fought in the World War 1. The mosque was founded in 1922 to honor the North African countries that had lent a hand France during World War 1. A main reconstruction was finished in 1992.

With its pure white walls and the green-blue roofs and tiles on portions of the building like the minaret, the Great Mosque of Paris is an attractive spectacle to take a look at.

Thank you so much for spending your valuable time to read my blog.
